160 This will try to automatically determine if the current tree is a

162 top of tree revision.
164 A string of the format -gxxxxxxxx will be added to the localversion
165 if a git-based tree is found. The string generated by this will be
166 appended after any matching localversion* files, and after the value
167 set in CONFIG_LOCALVERSION.

214 The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
215 Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
216 in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.
217 Compression speed is only relevant when building a kernel.
218 Decompression speed is relevant at each boot.
220 If you have any problems with bzip2 or lzma compressed
221 kernels, mail me (Alain Knaff) <alain@knaff.lu>. (An older
222 version of this functionality (bzip2 only), for 2.4, was
223 supplied by Christian Ludwig)

226 are low on disk space (embedded systems), but for whom ram
229 If in doubt, select 'gzip'
233 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_GZIP
235 The old and tried gzip compression. It provides a good balance
236 between compression ratio and decompression speed.
240 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_BZIP2
242 Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
243 Decompression speed is slowest among the choices. The kernel
244 size is about 10% smaller with bzip2, in comparison to gzip.
245 Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels you
246 will need at least 8MB RAM or more for booting.
250 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZMA
252 This compression algorithm's ratio is best. Decompression speed
253 is between gzip and bzip2. Compression is slowest.
254 The kernel size is about 33% smaller with LZMA in comparison to gzip.
258 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_XZ
260 XZ uses the LZMA2 algorithm and instruction set specific
261 BCJ filters which can improve compression ratio of executable
262 code. The size of the kernel is about 30% smaller with XZ in
263 comparison to gzip. On architectures for which there is a BCJ
264 filter (i386, x86_64, ARM, IA-64, PowerPC, and SPARC), XZ
265 will create a few percent smaller kernel than plain LZMA.
267 The speed is about the same as with LZMA: The decompression
268 speed of XZ is better than that of bzip2 but worse than gzip
269 and LZO. Compression is slow.
273 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZO
275 Its compression ratio is the poorest among the choices. The kernel
276 size is about 10% bigger than gzip; however its speed
277 (both compression and decompression) is the fastest.
281 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_LZ4
283 LZ4 is an LZ77-type compressor with a fixed, byte-oriented encoding.
284 A preliminary version of LZ4 de/compression tool is available at
285 <https://code.google.com/p/lz4/>.
287 Its compression ratio is worse than LZO. The size of the kernel
288 is about 8% bigger than LZO. But the decompression speed is
293 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_ZSTD
295 ZSTD is a compression algorithm targeting intermediate compression
296 with fast decompression speed. It will compress better than GZIP and
297 decompress around the same speed as LZO, but slower than LZ4. You
298 will need at least 192 KB RAM or more for booting. The zstd command
299 line tool is required for compression.
301 config KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
303 depends on HAVE_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
305 Produce uncompressed kernel image. This option is usually not what
306 you want. It is useful for debugging the kernel in slow simulation
307 environments, where decompressing and moving the kernel is awfully
308 slow. This option allows early boot code to skip the decompressor
309 and jump right at uncompressed kernel image.
314 string "Default init path"
317 This option determines the default init for the system if no init=
318 option is passed on the kernel command line. If the requested path is
319 not present, we will still then move on to attempting further
320 locations (e.g. /sbin/init, etc). If this is empty, we will just use
321 the fallback list when init= is not passed.
323 config DEFAULT_HOSTNAME
324 string "Default hostname"
327 This option determines the default system hostname before userspace
328 calls sethostname(2). The kernel traditionally uses "(none)" here,
329 but you may wish to use a different default here to make a minimal
330 system more usable with less configuration.
333 # For some reason microblaze and nios2 hard code SWAP=n. Hopefully we can
334 # add proper SWAP support to them, in which case this can be remove.
340 bool "Support for paging of anonymous memory (swap)"
341 depends on MMU && BLOCK && !ARCH_NO_SWAP
344 This option allows you to choose whether you want to have support
345 for so called swap devices or swap files in your kernel that are
346 used to provide more virtual memory than the actual RAM present
347 in your computer. If unsure say Y.
352 Inter Process Communication is a suite of library functions and
353 system calls which let processes (running programs) synchronize and
354 exchange information. It is generally considered to be a good thing,
355 and some programs won't run unless you say Y here. In particular, if
356 you want to run the DOS emulator dosemu under Linux (read the
357 DOSEMU-HOWTO, available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>),
358 you'll need to say Y here.
360 You can find documentation about IPC with "info ipc" and also in

362 <http://www.tldp.org/guides.html>.
364 config SYSVIPC_SYSCTL
371 bool "POSIX Message Queues"
374 POSIX variant of message queues is a part of IPC. In POSIX message
375 queues every message has a priority which decides about succession
376 of receiving it by a process. If you want to compile and run
377 programs written e.g. for Solaris with use of its POSIX message
378 queues (functions mq_*) say Y here.
380 POSIX message queues are visible as a filesystem called 'mqueue'
381 and can be mounted somewhere if you want to do filesystem
382 operations on message queues.

402 See Documentation/watch_queue.rst
404 config CROSS_MEMORY_ATTACH
405 bool "Enable process_vm_readv/writev syscalls"
409 Enabling this option adds the system calls process_vm_readv and
410 process_vm_writev which allow a process with the correct privileges
411 to directly read from or write to another process' address space.
412 See the man page for more details.
415 bool "uselib syscall"
416 def_bool ALPHA || M68K || SPARC || X86_32 || IA32_EMULATION
418 This option enables the uselib syscall, a system call used in the
419 dynamic linker from libc5 and earlier. glibc does not use this
420 system call. If you intend to run programs built on libc5 or
421 earlier, you may need to enable this syscall. Current systems
422 running glibc can safely disable this.
425 bool "Auditing support"

523 Select this option to enable thermal pressure accounting in the

525 that reflects the reduction in CPU compute capacity resulted from
526 thermal throttling. Thermal throttling occurs when the performance of
527 a CPU is capped due to high operating temperatures.
529 If selected, the scheduler will be able to balance tasks accordingly,
530 i.e. put less load on throttled CPUs than on non/less throttled ones.
532 This requires the architecture to implement
533 arch_set_thermal_pressure() and arch_scale_thermal_pressure().
535 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
536 bool "BSD Process Accounting"
539 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to instruct the
540 kernel (via a special system call) to write process accounting
541 information to a file: whenever a process exits, information about
542 that process will be appended to the file by the kernel. The
543 information includes things such as creation time, owning user,
544 command name, memory usage, controlling terminal etc. (the complete
545 list is in the struct acct in <file:include/linux/acct.h>). It is
546 up to the user level program to do useful things with this
547 information. This is generally a good idea, so say Y.
549 config BSD_PROCESS_ACCT_V3
550 bool "BSD Process Accounting version 3 file format"
551 depends on BSD_PROCESS_ACCT
554 If you say Y here, the process accounting information is written
555 in a new file format that also logs the process IDs of each
556 process and its parent. Note that this file format is incompatible
557 with previous v0/v1/v2 file formats, so you will need updated tools
558 for processing it. A preliminary version of these tools is available
559 at <http://www.gnu.org/software/acct/>.
562 bool "Export task/process statistics through netlink"
567 Export selected statistics for tasks/processes through the
568 generic netlink interface. Unlike BSD process accounting, the
569 statistics are available during the lifetime of tasks/processes as
570 responses to commands. Like BSD accounting, they are sent to user

576 bool "Enable per-task delay accounting"
580 Collect information on time spent by a task waiting for system
581 resources like cpu, synchronous block I/O completion and swapping

583 relative to other tasks for cpu, io, rss limits etc.

608 Collect metrics that indicate how overcommitted the CPU, memory,
609 and IO capacity are in the system.
611 If you say Y here, the kernel will create /proc/pressure/ with the
612 pressure statistics files cpu, memory, and io. These will indicate
613 the share of walltime in which some or all tasks in the system are
614 delayed due to contention of the respective resource.
616 In kernels with cgroup support, cgroups (cgroup2 only) will
617 have cpu.pressure, memory.pressure, and io.pressure files,
618 which aggregate pressure stalls for the grouped tasks only.
620 For more details see Documentation/accounting/psi.rst.
624 config PSI_DEFAULT_DISABLED
625 bool "Require boot parameter to enable pressure stall information tracking"
629 If set, pressure stall information tracking will be disabled
630 per default but can be enabled through passing psi=1 on the
631 kernel commandline during boot.
633 This feature adds some code to the task wakeup and sleep
634 paths of the scheduler. The overhead is too low to affect
635 common scheduling-intense workloads in practice (such as
636 webservers, memcache), but it does show up in artificial
637 scheduler stress tests, such as hackbench.

720 This option allows to increase the default ring buffer size
721 according to the number of CPUs. The value defines the contribution
722 of each CPU as a power of 2. The used space is typically only few
723 lines however it might be much more when problems are reported,
726 The increased size means that a new buffer has to be allocated and
727 the original static one is unused. It makes sense only on systems
728 with more CPUs. Therefore this value is used only when the sum of
729 contributions is greater than the half of the default kernel ring
730 buffer as defined by LOG_BUF_SHIFT. The default values are set
731 so that more than 16 CPUs are needed to trigger the allocation.
733 Also this option is ignored when "log_buf_len" kernel parameter is
734 used as it forces an exact (power of two) size of the ring buffer.
736 The number of possible CPUs is used for this computation ignoring
737 hotplugging making the computation optimal for the worst case
738 scenario while allowing a simple algorithm to be used from bootup.

790 With this option, the user can specify the min and max CPU
791 utilization allowed for RUNNABLE tasks. The max utilization defines
792 the maximum frequency a task should use while the min utilization
793 defines the minimum frequency it should use.

807 Defines the number of clamp buckets to use. The range of each bucket
808 will be SCHED_CAPACITY_SCALE/UCLAMP_BUCKETS_COUNT. The higher the
809 number of clamp buckets the finer their granularity and the higher
810 the precision of clamping aggregation and tracking at run-time.
812 For example, with the minimum configuration value we will have 5
813 clamp buckets tracking 20% utilization each. A 25% boosted tasks will
814 be refcounted in the [20..39]% bucket and will set the bucket clamp
815 effective value to 25%.
816 If a second 30% boosted task should be co-scheduled on the same CPU,
817 that task will be refcounted in the same bucket of the first task and
818 it will boost the bucket clamp effective value to 30%.

820 (20% in the example above) when there are no more tasks refcounted in
823 An additional boost/capping margin can be added to some tasks. In the
824 example above the 25% task will be boosted to 30% until it exits the
825 CPU. If that should be considered not acceptable on certain systems,
826 it's always possible to reduce the margin by increasing the number of
827 clamp buckets to trade off used memory for run-time tracking

927 Generic block IO controller cgroup interface. This is the common
928 cgroup interface which should be used by various IO controlling
931 Currently, CFQ IO scheduler uses it to recognize task groups and
932 control disk bandwidth allocation (proportional time slice allocation)
933 to such task groups. It is also used by bio throttling logic in
934 block layer to implement upper limit in IO rates on a device.
936 This option only enables generic Block IO controller infrastructure.
937 One needs to also enable actual IO controlling logic/policy. For
938 enabling proportional weight division of disk bandwidth in CFQ, set

975 bool "Group scheduling for SCHED_RR/FIFO"
976 depends on CGROUP_SCHED
979 This feature lets you explicitly allocate real CPU bandwidth
980 to task groups. If enabled, it will also make it impossible to
981 schedule realtime tasks for non-root users until you allocate
982 realtime bandwidth for them.
983 See Documentation/scheduler/sched-rt-group.rst for more information.
987 config UCLAMP_TASK_GROUP
988 bool "Utilization clamping per group of tasks"
989 depends on CGROUP_SCHED
990 depends on UCLAMP_TASK
993 This feature enables the scheduler to track the clamped utilization
994 of each CPU based on RUNNABLE tasks currently scheduled on that CPU.
996 When this option is enabled, the user can specify a min and max
997 CPU bandwidth which is allowed for each single task in a group.
998 The max bandwidth allows to clamp the maximum frequency a task
999 can use, while the min bandwidth allows to define a minimum
1000 frequency a task will always use.
1002 When task group based utilization clamping is enabled, an eventually
1003 specified task-specific clamp value is constrained by the cgroup
1004 specified clamp value. Both minimum and maximum task clamping cannot
1005 be bigger than the corresponding clamping defined at task group level.
1010 bool "PIDs controller"
1012 Provides enforcement of process number limits in the scope of a
1013 cgroup. Any attempt to fork more processes than is allowed in the
1014 cgroup will fail. PIDs are fundamentally a global resource because it
1015 is fairly trivial to reach PID exhaustion before you reach even a
1016 conservative kmemcg limit. As a result, it is possible to grind a
1017 system to halt without being limited by other cgroup policies. The
1018 PIDs controller is designed to stop this from happening.
1020 It should be noted that organisational operations (such as attaching
1021 to a cgroup hierarchy) will *not* be blocked by the PIDs controller,
1022 since the PIDs limit only affects a process's ability to fork, not to

1029 It is fairly easy for consumers to exhaust RDMA resources, which
1030 can result into resource unavailability to other consumers.

1047 bool "HugeTLB controller"
1048 depends on HUGETLB_PAGE
1052 Provides a cgroup controller for HugeTLB pages.
1053 When you enable this, you can put a per cgroup limit on HugeTLB usage.
1054 The limit is enforced during page fault. Since HugeTLB doesn't
1055 support page reclaim, enforcing the limit at page fault time implies
1056 that, the application will get SIGBUS signal if it tries to access
1057 HugeTLB pages beyond its limit. This requires the application to know
1058 beforehand how much HugeTLB pages it would require for its use. The
1059 control group is tracked in the third page lru pointer. This means
1060 that we cannot use the controller with huge page less than 3 pages.
1063 bool "Cpuset controller"
1066 This option will let you create and manage CPUSETs which
1067 allow dynamically partitioning a system into sets of CPUs and
1068 Memory Nodes and assigning tasks to run only within those sets.
1069 This is primarily useful on large SMP or NUMA systems.

1092 depends on PERF_EVENTS
1094 This option extends the perf per-cpu mode to restrict monitoring
1095 to threads which belong to the cgroup specified and run on the
1096 designated cpu. Or this can be used to have cgroup ID in samples
1097 so that it can monitor performance events among cgroups.

1164 In this namespace tasks work with IPC ids which correspond to
1165 different IPC objects in different namespaces.
1168 bool "User namespace"
1171 This allows containers, i.e. vservers, to use user namespaces
1172 to provide different user info for different servers.
1174 When user namespaces are enabled in the kernel it is
1175 recommended that the MEMCG option also be enabled and that
1176 user-space use the memory control groups to limit the amount
1177 of memory a memory unprivileged users can use.
1182 bool "PID Namespaces"

1279 before the normal boot procedure. It is typically used to
1280 load modules needed to mount the "real" root file system,
1281 etc. See <file:Documentation/admin-guide/initrd.rst> for details.
1283 If RAM disk support (BLK_DEV_RAM) is also included, this

1336 This requires that the arch annotates or otherwise protects
1337 its external entry points from being discarded. Linker scripts
1338 must also merge .text.*, .data.*, and .bss.* correctly into
1339 output sections. Care must be taken not to pull in unrelated

1456 If you say Y here, a user level program will be able to map
1457 file names to handle and then later use the handle for
1458 different file system operations. This is useful in implementing
1459 userspace file servers, which now track files using handles instead
1460 of names. The handle would remain the same even if file names
1461 get renamed. Enables open_by_handle_at(2) and name_to_handle_at(2)
1465 bool "Posix Clocks & timers" if EXPERT
1468 This includes native support for POSIX timers to the kernel.
1469 Some embedded systems have no use for them and therefore they
1470 can be configured out to reduce the size of the kernel image.
1472 When this option is disabled, the following syscalls won't be
1473 available: timer_create, timer_gettime: timer_getoverrun,
1474 timer_settime, timer_delete, clock_adjtime, getitimer,
1475 setitimer, alarm. Furthermore, the clock_settime, clock_gettime,
1476 clock_getres and clock_nanosleep syscalls will be limited to
1477 CLOCK_REALTIME, CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_BOOTTIME only.
1483 bool "Enable support for printk" if EXPERT
1486 This option enables normal printk support. Removing it
1487 eliminates most of the message strings from the kernel image
1488 and makes the kernel more or less silent. As this makes it
1489 very difficult to diagnose system problems, saying N here is
1490 strongly discouraged.
1498 bool "BUG() support" if EXPERT
1501 Disabling this option eliminates support for BUG and WARN, reducing
1502 the size of your kernel image and potentially quietly ignoring
1503 numerous fatal conditions. You should only consider disabling this
1504 option for embedded systems with no facilities for reporting errors.

1529 kernel data structures. This saves memory on small machines,
1530 but may reduce performance.
1533 bool "Enable futex support" if EXPERT

1584 kernel notification (ie. KAIO) or userspace notifications.
1589 bool "Use full shmem filesystem" if EXPERT
1593 The shmem is an internal filesystem used to manage shared memory.
1594 It is backed by swap and manages resource limits. It is also exported
1595 to userspace as tmpfs if TMPFS is enabled. Disabling this
1596 option replaces shmem and tmpfs with the much simpler ramfs code,
1597 which may be appropriate on small systems without swap.
1600 bool "Enable AIO support" if EXPERT
1603 This option enables POSIX asynchronous I/O which may by used
1604 by some high performance threaded applications. Disabling
1605 this option saves about 7k.

1655 Normally kallsyms only contains the symbols of functions for nicer
1656 OOPS messages and backtraces (i.e., symbols from the text and inittext
1657 sections). This is sufficient for most cases. And only in very rare
1658 cases (e.g., when a debugger is used) all symbols are required (e.g.,
1659 names of variables from the data sections, etc).
1661 This option makes sure that all symbols are loaded into the kernel
1662 image (i.e., symbols from all sections) in cost of increased kernel
1663 size (depending on the kernel configuration, it may be 300KiB or
1664 something like this).

1810 depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS
1814 Enable kernel support for various performance events provided
1815 by software and hardware.
1817 Software events are supported either built-in or via the
1818 use of generic tracepoints.
1820 Most modern CPUs support performance events via performance
1821 counter registers. These registers count the number of certain
1822 types of hw events: such as instructions executed, cachemisses
1823 suffered, or branches mis-predicted - without slowing down the
1824 kernel or applications. These registers can also trigger interrupts
1825 when a threshold number of events have passed - and can thus be
1826 used to profile the code that runs on that CPU.
1828 The Linux Performance Event subsystem provides an abstraction of
1829 these software and hardware event capabilities, available via a
1830 system call and used by the "perf" utility in tools/perf/. It
1831 provides per task and per CPU counters, and it provides event

1865 SLUB has extensive debug support features. Disabling these can
1866 result in significant savings in code size. This also disables
1867 SLUB sysfs support. /sys/slab will not exist and there will be
1868 no support for cache validation etc.
1871 bool "Disable heap randomization"
1874 Randomizing heap placement makes heap exploits harder, but it
1875 also breaks ancient binaries (including anything libc5 based).
1876 This option changes the bootup default to heap randomization
1877 disabled, and can be overridden at runtime by setting
1878 /proc/sys/kernel/randomize_va_space to 2.

1900 SLUB is a slab allocator that minimizes cache line usage
1901 instead of managing queues of cached objects (SLAB approach).
1902 Per cpu caching is realized using slabs of objects instead
1903 of queues of objects. SLUB can use memory efficiently
1904 and has enhanced diagnostics. SLUB is the default choice for
1909 bool "SLOB (Simple Allocator)"

1917 config SLAB_MERGE_DEFAULT
1918 bool "Allow slab caches to be merged"
1921 For reduced kernel memory fragmentation, slab caches can be
1922 merged when they share the same size and other characteristics.
1923 This carries a risk of kernel heap overflows being able to
1924 overwrite objects from merged caches (and more easily control
1925 cache layout), which makes such heap attacks easier to exploit
1926 by attackers. By keeping caches unmerged, these kinds of exploits
1927 can usually only damage objects in the same cache. To disable
1928 merging at runtime, "slab_nomerge" can be passed on the kernel

1932 bool "Randomize slab freelist"
1933 depends on SLAB || SLUB

1940 bool "Harden slab freelist metadata"
1941 depends on SLAB || SLUB
1943 Many kernel heap attacks try to target slab cache metadata and
1944 other infrastructure. This options makes minor performance
1945 sacrifices to harden the kernel slab allocator against common
1946 freelist exploit methods. Some slab implementations have more
1947 sanity-checking than others. This option is most effective with
1950 config SHUFFLE_PAGE_ALLOCATOR
1951 bool "Page allocator randomization"
1952 default SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM && ACPI_NUMA
1954 Randomization of the page allocator improves the average
1955 utilization of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache. See section
1956 5.2.27 Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT) in the ACPI
1957 6.2a specification for an example of how a platform advertises
1958 the presence of a memory-side-cache. There are also incidental
1959 security benefits as it reduces the predictability of page
1960 allocations to compliment SLAB_FREELIST_RANDOM, but the
1961 default granularity of shuffling on the "MAX_ORDER - 1" i.e,
1962 10th order of pages is selected based on cache utilization
1965 While the randomization improves cache utilization it may
1966 negatively impact workloads on platforms without a cache. For
1967 this reason, by default, the randomization is enabled only
1968 after runtime detection of a direct-mapped memory-side-cache.
1969 Otherwise, the randomization may be force enabled with the
1970 'page_alloc.shuffle' kernel command line parameter.
1974 config SLUB_CPU_PARTIAL
1976 depends on SLUB && SMP
1977 bool "SLUB per cpu partial cache"
1979 Per cpu partial caches accelerate objects allocation and freeing
1980 that is local to a processor at the price of more indeterminism
1981 in the latency of the free. On overflow these caches will be cleared
1982 which requires the taking of locks that may cause latency spikes.
1983 Typically one would choose no for a realtime system.
1985 config MMAP_ALLOW_UNINITIALIZED
1986 bool "Allow mmapped anonymous memory to be uninitialized"
1987 depends on EXPERT && !MMU
1990 Normally, and according to the Linux spec, anonymous memory obtained
1991 from mmap() has its contents cleared before it is passed to
1992 userspace. Enabling this config option allows you to request that
1993 mmap() skip that if it is given an MAP_UNINITIALIZED flag, thus
1994 providing a huge performance boost. If this option is not enabled,
1995 then the flag will be ignored.
1997 This is taken advantage of by uClibc's malloc(), and also by
1998 ELF-FDPIC binfmt's brk and stack allocator.
2000 Because of the obvious security issues, this option should only be
2001 enabled on embedded devices where you control what is run in
2002 userspace. Since that isn't generally a problem on no-MMU systems,
2003 it is normally safe to say Y here.

2055 bool "Enable loadable module support"
2058 Kernel modules are small pieces of compiled code which can
2059 be inserted in the running kernel, rather than being
2060 permanently built into the kernel. You use the "modprobe"
2061 tool to add (and sometimes remove) them. If you say Y here,
2062 many parts of the kernel can be built as modules (by
2063 answering M instead of Y where indicated): this is most
2064 useful for infrequently used options which are not required
2065 for booting. For more information, see the man pages for
2066 modprobe, lsmod, modinfo, insmod and rmmod.
2068 If you say Y here, you will need to run "make

2077 config MODULE_FORCE_LOAD
2078 bool "Forced module loading"

2094 bool "Forced module unloading"
2095 depends on MODULE_UNLOAD
2097 This option allows you to force a module to unload, even if the

2099 without waiting for anyone to stop using it (using the -f option to
2100 rmmod). This is mainly for kernel developers and desperate users.
2104 bool "Module versioning support"
2106 Usually, you have to use modules compiled with your kernel.

2130 sum of the source files which made it. This helps maintainers
2131 see exactly which source was used to build a module (since
2132 others sometimes change the module source without updating
2133 the version). With this option, such a "srcversion" field
2134 will be created for all modules. If unsure, say N.

2141 is simply appended to the module. For more information see

2145 kernel build dependency so that the signing tool can use its crypto
2148 You should enable this option if you wish to use either
2149 CONFIG_SECURITY_LOCKDOWN_LSM or lockdown functionality imposed via
2150 another LSM - otherwise unsigned modules will be loadable regardless
2151 of the lockdown policy.
2153 !!!WARNING!!! If you enable this option, you MUST make sure that the

2257 Symbols exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_NS*() are considered exported in
2258 a namespace. A module that makes use of a symbol exported with such a
2259 namespace is required to import the namespace via MODULE_IMPORT_NS().
2260 There is no technical reason to enforce correct namespace imports,
2261 but it creates consistency between symbols defining namespaces and
2262 users importing namespaces they make use of. This option relaxes this
2263 requirement and lifts the enforcement when loading a module.

2273 on the set of modules being selected in your kernel configuration,
2274 many of those exported symbols might never be used.
2276 This option allows for unused exported symbols to be dropped from
2277 the build. In turn, this provides the compiler more opportunities
2278 (especially when using LTO) for optimizing the code and reducing
